EFL Cup Quarterfinals: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham in Action

The EFL Cup quarterfinals are underway, featuring some of the top teams in the English Premier League. On Wednesday, December 18, several high-profile matches are set to take place.

Arsenal, one of the favorites to win the title, hosts Crystal Palace. Manager Mikel Arteta has been rotating his squad throughout the competition, but Arsenal is expected to have a routine outing against Palace. This match is significant for Arsenal as it offers a chance to win their first trophy since the 2019-20 FA Cup, which was the only trophy Arteta has won as the manager.

Newcastle United faces Brentford in another quarterfinal match. Both teams are known for their scoring prowess, with Brentford having scored 32 goals in Premier League play this season. This match is anticipated to be closely contested and potentially high-scoring.

The most high-profile quarterfinal is saved for Thursday, December 19, when Tottenham Hotspur hosts Manchester United. Both teams have points to prove, with Tottenham aiming to end a nearly 17-year trophy drought despite facing an injury crisis that has left them with only 18 available first-team players. Tottenham is slightly favored, but the match comes at a challenging time for the team.
